Goldie Ann Chaney
January 24, 1906-January 5, 2008
Goldie Ann Chaney, 101, a former longtime Estacada resident passed away Saturday, Jan. 5,
2008 at her home in Baker City.
At her request, there will be no services. Cremation by Eastern Oregon Pioneer
Crematory.
Goldie Ann was born Jan. 24, 1906 to Samuel and Gertie (Quimby) Hunt in a small cabin on
Moscow Mt. in Moscow, Idaho.
On the day she was born, the wind was blowing the snow into the cabin onto the bed where
Goldie was born. She grew-up on the mountain and went to Hunts School through 8th grade.
Her family moved from Idaho to Montana and then to California. In California, Goldie met
her husband, Julious H. Chaney. The couple had four children: three boys and a daughter.
Goldie was primarily a homemaker and mother but occasionally took agricultural jobs to
help supplement the family's income.
In 1954, Goldie and Julious moved to Estacada, Oregon along with two of their children.
After Julious' death, Goldie began relying on her daughter for help with chores and
care. Her daughter eventually moved in with her, where she stayed for 20 years. In 2005,
the family moved to Baker City, Oregon.
Goldie was very active in the LDS Church when she was younger and in good health. She
also enjoyed spending time with her family on camping trips. She went everywhere with her
family, even later in life she would travel across the state with her children.
She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; sons: Ronald and Dawn Chaney;
grandchildren: Tamara Allen and Edward Horn; brother: Gerald Hunt; sister Ruby Hess; and
half brother Orlee Hunt.
Goldie is survived by her son John Chaney and his wife Carol of Baker City, OR; daughter
Utahna Weiland and her husband Gerald of Baker City, OR; numerous grandchildren and
great-grandchildren: half -brothers: Byran Hunt and Verlan Hunt; sister Lila May Way; and
many nieces and nephews.
Memorial contributions can be made to the LDS Church Humanitarian fund in care of
Gray's West &Company Pioneer Chapel, 1500 Dewey Ave., Baker City, OR 97814.
